A pioneering German researcher decodes newborns’ cries. Here’s what they reveal.

“Kissing your baby changes your breast milk. Did you know that the undeniable urge to cover your baby in kisses serves a biological purpose? When a mother kisses her baby, she samples the pathogens on baby’s face, which then travel to mom’s lymphatic system. Mom’s body then creates antibodies to fight those pathogens, which baby receives through breast milk. What?! Amazing, right?”

Big recommend for Jude’s pregnancy massage xx

Massage, massage, massage... just had 2 wonderful days massaging lots of pregnant and postnatal women. Not only providing relief from physical aches and pains, but also listening to women and caring about their fears. When I know for certain I have made a difference to someone's life in a positive way I love my job ❤
